Freeway - Free People lyrics

[Chorus - Sample (Freeway)] We are people, who've been tried through time (that's right) Rejected by society (not just black people but people in general) Left to wander deaf, dumb and blind (ya know) We know the depth of darkness, ignorance's shame (uh huh) A people lost without a name (Free) Without a name, ohhh, what a shame But now here we are ... [Verse 1 - Freeway] Yeah, this how it started, the beginning it was me alone It's '09, I look around, it's me alone Huh, no "Love Jones", No Nia Long And my kids still askin "are we there yet? Did we make it to the top dad?"
